These new changes will help
them grow and put on better
races for the fans and
competitors. One of the first
changes is that there will no
longer be an association fee.
Secondly, there is no
transmission rule. Any
transmission is welcome. It
will an eight-car field with
two alternates and will run
the pro ladder instead of the
sportsman.
"We are really excited about
the format," said Kip
Kauffman. "One of the first
things that we want the racers
to know is that there will be
absolutely no rules changes
mid season. We have never
changed a rule during a season
and never will. The rules that
are in place now will be the
same rules that will be in
place the whole 2012 season.
There’s not going to be an
association fee, just show up
and race. We’ve opened up the
transmission and we really
feel that is going to help. It
doesn’t matter which
transmission you have, we want
everyone to come race with
us."
The list of racers that have
shown interest in racing with
the Quick 8 Outlaws has grown
quickly over the last three
weeks. That list includes;
Todd Tutterow, Rocky Raynor,
Danny Blankenship, Dewayne
Silance, Ric Fleck, Sonny

Price, JR Linton and many
more.
The
rules for the 2012 Quick 8
Outlaws season will be as
follows:
1. IHRA safety rules will be
used as a guideline. Example,
engine diaper, full face
helmet, neck collar, jacket,
pants and gloves to meet SFI
specs.
2. Only full body cars and
trucks with working doors.
3. No screw blowers,
nitromethane or multiple power
adders.
4. Any Transmission.
5. It will be an eight-car
field with the pro ladder. If
you break in the burnout box,
it will then be a bye run. If
the racer can’t make the call
for the first round of
eliminations, the first
alternate will then be in the
field.
